Artziniega

Discover Artziniega

Discover Artziniega, a beautifully preserved medieval town in Álava, founded in 1272 by King Alfonso X. Its historic center features narrow cobbled streets, ancient defensive walls, noble houses, and remarkable architecture that reflects centuries of Basque history.

Stroll through the charming medieval quarter and admire historic landmarks, including the Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, elegant palaces, defensive towers, and the former blacksmith’s workshop. Artziniega was declared a Historic-Artistic Monumental Site thanks to its outstanding cultural heritage and well-preserved medieval layout.

Just a short walk from the town center lies the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de la Encina, a magnificent Gothic church surrounded by a centuries-old oak tree, one of the region’s most treasured natural landmarks.

Artziniega is a perfect destination for travelers interested in history, architecture, and authentic Basque culture.
